Are you sure the bottleneck is in LVS, and not just in Linux as a packet
forwarding engine?
I did some kernel profiling and found that iptables and ipvs accounted
for only 20% of the work that a dual p4(htt) director was performing at
its MLFFR (Maximum Loss Free Forwarding Rate). The MLFFR for straight
forwarding was 266Kpps, while for LVS-DR w/ fwmarks it was 230Kpps.
So I'd look elsewhere for the bottleneck.
